All of the bloggers that are pictured have been contacted and have expressed an interest in playing. [...]

Teams need a min of twelve players and must have a min. of two female players per team. The tournament date is still being worked on to satisfy all the teams and players. The location will be at the Big League Dreams park in West Covina. All teams will play a minimum of three games in the tournament. It will also include food and beverages during the day.

The charity I’m working with will hopefully be announced shortly. It's one that all Dodger fans can get behind and support. If you have a business or company and would like to sponsor a team. Feel free to contact me also. This tournament is open to anyone who wants to participate male or female over the age of 18.

There was some chatter in another thread about throwing together a team of SoSG readers, so how about it? Do we have enough interest to field a roster of at least twelve people who are of legal voting age? Including two females? Tell us what you think in the comments!

Okay, let's go over the ground rules. You can't leave first until you chug a beer. Any man scoring has to chug a beer. You have to chug a beer at the top of all odd-numbered innings. Oh, and the fourth inning is the beer inning.

In in some capacity. I have some recurring ankle and knee issues that I may have to have medically resolved between now and Spring, but either way I'll be around. Put me down for Kegmeister, photographer/historian, the Jeff Pentland role, and any managerial duties that may be necessary (e.g., lineups, recommendations to throw at people's heads).

I'm game for as long as my back holds up, so you may have to stick me out in right. Much like Josh, I too can brush up on my skills via the NES. I'll also see if I can wrangle in a girl, if we still need one.

This discussion caused me to Google the Ron Cey baseball camp. All I found was this nugget from a 1988 L.A. Times article:

Former Dodger third baseman Ron Cey, who was playing for the Chicago Cubs at the time, used his name and money to help start a camp in Northridge in 1985. The camp lasted just one summer. By Cey's admission, it was a failure.

"Because I was playing in Chicago, I couldn't supervise the camp," Cey said. "Most of the problems that occurred weren't under my supervision. Parents were dropping off kids and no one was there to supervise them. . . . It lacked a lot of things."

Or maybe your mom can sell a whole bunch of cookies on your behalf at her work. She can use company resources - email, bulletin board, etc - to advertise. And she can spend half her day doing so instead of doing her fucking job.

Just wanted to say thanks to you guys for wanting to play. I think a good time will be had by everyone. Also I'm getting rid of the team entry fee and making it a flat rate of $35 a player. This will make it fair to the teams that only have 12 players and allow us to raise more money for Manny. I just updated that on the LFP. I'm sort of new at this so hang with me as I feel my way through it.

I'm in Texas girl with no coordination. However, in true Texas form I can drink. As with Fernie, if you need out of towners I will do my darndest to be there. Plus Kuribe and I are have always said if we ever meet we have to get obliterated.

Let us know when the dates are announced. With this much notice I could definitely make it out that way. Off-season SoSG Fest would defininitely be in order. It will be a pleasure to meet and drink with such a motley crew (no pun intended).

@Fred, you gotta make the trip. Karina, Myself, Fernie and other out of towners. It will be worth it. I promise Slivovitz shots if you grace us with your presence.
